Stay North Wins Airbnb’s Nordic Standard Award

Last week brought a very special moment for Stay North. At Airbnb’s first Nordic Pro Host Summit in Stockholm, we received The Nordic Standard, recognising the highest average guest rating and the highest share of five-star reviews among professional hosts with fewer than 100 listings across the five Nordic countries.

We are incredibly proud of this achievement. But more than anything, we are proud of the people who made it possible.

Behind Every Five-Star Review

As our co-founder Josh Powell shared after the event, guest ratings are earned one stay at a time, month after month. And behind every successful stay is a team working hard to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. There are countless things our guests never see: the last-minute arrangements, unexpected problems, efficient solutions, extra checks and small details that make a house feel ready and welcoming.

A special thank you goes to our housekeeping team, whose care and attention make such a difference to every stay. Their work, alongside the efforts of everyone involved in guest communication, maintenance and daily operations, is what makes this recognition possible. We are very proud of the whole team.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

To our guests, thank you for choosing Stay North, trusting us with your holidays and taking the time to share your experiences. Your feedback helps us grow and reminds us why the details matter.

To our property owners, thank you for trusting us with your homes and allowing us to do what we love.

And to Airbnb and the Nordic team, thank you for this wonderful recognition and for bringing so many passionate hosts together in Stockholm.

This award is a milestone worth celebrating, but most importantly, it belongs to the people behind every stay.

Here's to our team, our guests and many more memorable stays ahead!
